You can depend on governments to collect your taxes, but not to defend human rights. That has to be done by us, working together with organisations like Amnesty International (AI), now the world's largest human rights organisation. Although AI is well-known and widely respected, what exactly does the group do, what are its priorities today, how is it financed, and why should you consider supporting it?

How do AI's aims intersect with your CSR policy? These questions and more will be answered in a talk and presentation by Chris Pitts, Yuki Lo and David Sutton-Kirkby from AI Japan.
